Chapter 20 - Cerdeña

However, Liliana, on the other side, blushed like a little lamb, lowered her head, and dared not speak.

In the remaining days, Kaido took the two beautiful girls to tour China for a while.

Until a secret report arrived from the Italian Magic Society.

Finally, there was movement in Sardinia.

Sardinia is located at the southern tip of Italy, a tourist island floating in the Mediterranean Sea.

As an island, Sardinia is also quite large.

The area is immense, with a permanent population of approximately fifteen million people, plus the daily number of tourists, which makes it extremely lively every day.

The streets are filled with a noisy atmosphere, and groups of energetic young people, both men and women, gather in twos and threes, contributing to Sardinia's hustle and bustle.

Kaido, Erica, and Liliana walked along the bustling pedestrian street, surrounded by people coming and going. Passersby often cast envious glances at the black-haired young man at the center, but the trio explored the local attractions without paying them any mind.

The passionate Erica Brandelli intimately hugged Kaido. With her curvaceous figure and the charm of a mature woman, she showed her male companion the sights and sounds of the road.

The soft touch of her arm made Kaido feel a little distracted.

Perhaps noticing Kaido's discomfort, Erica deliberately pressed closer to him, making his feelings even deeper.

Although he is a Godslayer feared by the world, he has an unusual persistence in matters of men and women, which leaves Erica helpless and satisfied at the same time.

If you were to ask what a Godslayer possesses most.

Then "women" are definitely one of them.

However, Kaido has never had excessive desires in matters of men and women from beginning to end.

At least from this point, Erica can judge that Kaido isn't the type of ruthless scoundrel.

No woman wants her future husband to be a heartless rogue.

Liliana stared intently at the arm Erica and Kaido held together, her expression calm, wondering what she was thinking.

Liliana herself knew very well the purpose for which her master, Deanna, had sent her there.

But because she didn't want to serve the brutal Marquis Voban, she tried following Kaido for a while.

The time they spent together made her feel quite good about Kaido.

But precisely because of this, Liliana had been restless for a long time.

Especially the words Kaido said to the two of them when they parted ways at Mount Lu.

Suddenly, this girl, who was already prone to overthinking, felt even more confused.

What if the King suddenly comes to attack me at night? What do I do if the King suddenly bursts in while I'm bathing? What do I do if the King asks to sleep together while I'm sleeping?

Only on those nights did Liliana imagine corresponding ten-thousand-word erotic novels in the matching scenes, and secretly changed her underwear several times.

"What's wrong? Lily, why do you look a little sad?"

Erica finally noticed Liliana trailing behind her.

"Don't call me Lily so intimately, and I'm not unhappy either," Liliana said, blushing.

"Oh, really? It's rare to go on a trip with the King. It's not a good habit for a knight to always wear a serious face."

"I told you I'm not unhappy..."

"Your tone isn't right. Let me tell you, could it be that you still think the King will be as stupid as those protagonists in your books and launch surprise attacks on you?"

Erica said as if she suddenly understood.

"I... I didn't think that!"

Liliana immediately raised her voice like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and her face turned even redder.

"Hmph~~~ Anyway, as subjects, we just need to be prepared. If you resist at that time, Lily, and make the King angry, I won't forgive you."

"Well... whatever you want!"

Liliana finally blushed and remained silent, and then stayed indifferent no matter how much Erica teased her.

As childhood playmates, Liliana had been tricked by Erica countless times.

The most memorable was when Erica invited her to watch a sci-fi movie as a child, but didn't expect her to be forced to watch an hour of adult films.

She could never gain the upper hand when spoken to, which is why she simply shut up.

Erica also felt quite helpless about Liliana's attitude. Unable to stand idly by, she started chatting with Kaido.

"Is Sardinia really as you said? Will disobedient gods descend?"

Erica had great doubts about this.

After all, there are countless reports of similar disobedient gods descending every year, but most of them are just the gathering of the earth vein's magical power, or the occasional descent of divine beasts.

There are very few reports of true disobedient gods descending.

"If I weren't sure, I wouldn't have rushed all the way here without stopping."

Kaido said with a smile.

Anyone who has read the original knows that the starting point of the Godslayer plot is Sardinia, Italy.

The original protagonist, Kusanagi Godou, Erica, as well as the undefeated martial god Verethragna and the god king Melqart, will gather on an island. In the end, Kusanagi Godou easily defeated Verethragna with a stone tablet left by a witch and thus became a Godslayer.

But since he's here, how could there be anything about Kusanagi Godou?

"What the King said is right. The disobedient gods indeed descended upon Sardinia a few days ago."

Cagliari, Sardinia's capital, is a port located in the south of the island. Its antiquity dates back to the 8th century BC.

Ancient streets, dilapidated ruins—everything indicates that this is a very good tourist destination.

In a café in the city of Cagliari, Liliana, the silver-haired female knight, said seriously in her blue-black uniform.

"Are you sure it's not something like a divine beast?"

Erica in her crimson dress didn't refute her point of view.

Although she often teases Liliana, the other party is, after all, a Great Knight as famous as herself.

Erica's strength lies in various spells, inheriting all the excellent qualities of the chief knight Paolo Blandtelli. Half a year later, when the young girl comes of age, the title symbolizing glory, "Scarlet Devil," will also be bestowed upon her.

Liliana, on the other hand, leans towards spiritual vision. Although she doesn't yet compare to Alice's level, she is still one of the world's most outstanding witches.

If she uses spiritual vision for divination and prediction, her credibility is much more accurate than the Magic Society's secret reports.

"It's impossible for divine beasts to have such immense magical power." Liliana shook her head. "The aura of the Disobedient Gods still lingers in the sky of Sardinia. If I'm not mistaken, they should descend again soon."

After disconnecting from the spiritual vision, the silver-haired girl rubbed her aching temples. Identifying news of disobedient gods with a mortal body is still quite strenuous.

The consumption of both physical and spell power is incomparable to ordinary spiritual vision.

"Then, until then, Lily, you should rest well for a while."

After finishing the not-so-delicious coffee, Kaido smiled as he looked at the slightly tired Liliana.

"It's fine, my King, you don't need to worry about me at all."

Liliana was overwhelmed by the favor.

"Lily, if the King tells you to rest, then rest. Besides, don't you know that a tired knight can't serve the King well? If you hindered his progress, it would be the greatest of crimes."

Upon hearing her say this, Liliana couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

Although she often teases her, Erica is still quite kind to her.

"Hey, hey, you two, don't start developing some strange relationship."

Observing the increasingly strange atmosphere between the two girls, Kaido interrupted their thoughts at the right moment.

"I know you have a good relationship in private, but don't turn into a yuri couple."

Upon hearing Kaido's words, Erica and Liliana suddenly blushed. Although they are only fifteen years old, they practically understand what they should do, and naturally know the other meaning of "yuri."

"T-that's not...! It's not like that! I'm not interested in women at all! It's the King! Please don't think such weird things!"

Liliana's face flushed as she desperately explained to Kaido.

"Hmm... As for this, don't worry, Lingyun. As someone born into a distinguished family, my future husband will undoubtedly be an exceptional man!"

Erica also expressed her stance at the first moment.

However, looking at the smiling Kaido and the adorable Liliana.

The girl's words couldn't help but take a turn.

"Although I'm not a yuri, I really like Lily, so if the partner is Lily, I wouldn't mind either."

"Hmm... Don't listen to her nonsense, I don't... really don't..."

Liliana, who didn't know she was being teased again, had tears of helplessness in the corners of her eyes.

"Don't be so shy, if it's Lily, the King probably wouldn't mind either."

Erica was still trying to charm this adorable Great Knight.

The man and the woman, looking at the girl who was as distressed as a little lamb, felt immense satisfaction in their hearts for some reason.

It seems these two are sadists through and through.

After chatting for a while, Kaido suddenly thought of something more important.

"Help me check the entry records for District Eleven. His name should be Kusanagi Godou. When you find him, bring him to me."

The plot has now reached the initial stage, and everything Kaido has done before hasn't interfered with the trajectory of the original plot.

Although Erica and Liliana have already become his knights, if he doesn't do something, Kusanagi Godou will still, as in the original work, hold that stone tablet, and then with explosive luck, kill Verethragna, thereby becoming a Godslayer.

For the Godslayer world, Erica in the original work can be replaced by any woman who understands magical knowledge.

As long as that stone tablet remains in Kusanagi Godou's hands, his life trajectory won't change.

What Kaido wants to do is take away that god-killing stone tablet.

As for Kusanagi Godou, he can stay wherever he's fine.

On one hand, he doesn't want such good prey as Verethragna to fall into someone else's hands. On the other hand, Kaido also doesn't want an idiotic, brainwashed Godslayer from the True History Compilation Committee to suddenly appear and bother him when he goes to District Eleven to release the Great Sage Equal to Heaven in the future.

Sardinia is the second largest island in Mediterranean Italy, surpassed only by Sicily. The island is home to numerous historical sites, and hundreds of thousands of tourists visit it daily.

Therefore, if you want to find someone here, it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, Kaido's order was quite effective, and the Italian Magic Society acted immediately after receiving the command.

As a major local family and local tyrant, they almost used all their strength to display their magical powers, combined with the local government, airport port customs, and some professional scouts, promising to find the person from District Eleven named Kusanagi Godou.

So, as Kaido walked with the two girls down the street dyed orange by the dusk, Erica received a message from the Red Bronze Black Cross.

"My King, we've found the trail of that teenager from District Eleven."

The blonde girl waved her small hand holding her phone, which contained the intelligence information sent by headquarters.

Liliana, who was beside her, also received information from the Bronze Black Cross at that moment, but Erica got ahead of her.

The latter looked triumphantly at Liliana, then looked at her phone and said, "He's at a hotel in the town where we are, and the branch Wizard has already secured him."

"Shall we go there and take a look?"
